# P-Patch

A P-Patch is a parcel of property used for gardening; the term is specific to Seattle, Washington. The "P" originally stood for "Picardo", after the family who owned Picardo Farm in Seattle's Wedgwood neighborhood, part of which became the original P-Patch. (A folk etymology attributes it to "pea patch".)
The 90 P-Patch locations around the city donated a total of 33,438 pounds (15,167 kg) of produce to food banks and meal programs in 2023. One of the more unique P-Patch locations is atop the Mercer Street parking garage at the Seattle Center, which spans 25,000 square feet (2,300 m$^2$). It opened in 2012 and was slated for closure in 2020, but was saved after community protests.
